July 30th and 31st: Lincoln, NEB and Denver!

Two dayz of magic. Two dayz of fever dream. Two dayz of rock and roll healing.

In Lincoln we played at the inspiring house of Ember Schrag called Clawfoot House. Her music is beautiful and inspiring, and so is her house and her little daughter Lillian.

Another thing that was beautiful and inspiring was this massive bowl of unreal salsa that James Doxon made before the show.

Christ, Doxon. How lucky can we be to have a food dude drummer like you on the road? Fucking luckier than a god damn dragon fucking a car.

First Mumford's tore the house down, bringing the heat in fine MumFashion. Then we played a set where my pants fell off. Then an awesome local band called Ron Wax played and tore face. The lead dude in Ron Wax, Ron Wax, also helped start the band LIARS years back. Ron Wax = the truth. Lincoln = blown mind. Ember's 2 year old daughter Lillian = oh my god watch this video.

The next day we said our big thank yous and goodbyes and took the long ass trek to Denver. This is how Mumford's rode the whole way.

Do you think Mumford's gives a fuck? Of course they don't. Asshole.

When we got to Denver we had our minds sufficiently melted by the warehouse/venue called Wazee Union where our show was (check out how awesomely vague and underground their website is). There was a fashion show going on too and we played outside in a patio area. Rumor was that this was this was the first event they'd ever had there. Our new friend Ron (tuns-o-Rons on this little leg of the tour) who does hype-ass-nu-rave shit under the name Hollagramz hooked us up with the show.

I didn't get any pictures, so you're just going to have to imagine a huge coke fueled rave with lazers, drugs, bubbles, and about 1200 people dancing in slow motion, 700 of which are models on ecstasy who are yelling and crying with joy at the ecstatic revelation that is the Mumford's/Utopia Park Hoop Dreamz tour. Yup. I know. Crazy.

ALSO! The most sychronic universal collision happened at this show - we played with a band called THE YELLOW ELEPHANT! So beautiful. So.

After our show my wonderful friend Jocey Dittmer (who lives near Boulder and is awesome) and I (Philip) were like "We're the young and the restless. Let's RAVE." So we drove back to Boulder to catch Hollagramz second set of the night at like 2 (dude's a bad boy). He played a live set and tore my skin off.

Phil's skin ripping off = yup.

In summary. In effect. Life.
